B&C Blog 11-3: Mardi Gras Morning Show

Nick Colombo

The show hits the road again today as Boomer, Carton, and the rest of the Morning Show team visits the beautiful city of New Orleans. Now if you’re looking to party few places are better to do so in than New Orleans. There’s only one problem: the hangover. No matter how hard you try, all the good times you had are going to be harshly balanced out in the morning. Life is like that in a lot of ways, something very evident in today’s Morning Show. Everybody had a blast yesterday eating alligator and oysters, partying in the French Quarter, and hanging out at a classic blues club. Then reality hits this morning like a panging headache and a curious lipstick stain on your collar. The Yankees blow Game 5 of the World Series, the crew filling in back in New York doesn’t have a clue, Craig can’t find a hobby to keep him occupied till Game 6, Craig’s wife (the diehard Phillies fan) won’t even be able to watch Game 6, and everyone is complaining about the night before where Eddie was too cheap and Al was too busy talking to his girlfriend. Luckily, even the worst hangovers can be cured with a little bit of ibuprofen. For the Morning Show that means a bold Boomer prediction for Game 6, Craig’s new plan to deal with Chase Utley, and a continued discussion of Craig’s new Centaur picture. Yes, from joy to pain to back to joy again, it’s a Mardi Gras style morning show…
 
While New Orleans is partying hard for their 7-0 Saints, Yankees’ fans in New York are going to have to wait at least another few days before their party gets started. Get the lowdown on the Game 5 AJ Burnett meltdown right here from Boomer and Craig… 
 
Now it’s not every day that the entire Morning Show staff jets off to some far away location. But when they do the studio operations are left in the hands of some other FAN employees. A tough adjustment for all involved sometimes, but Craig knew the best way to explain things to Producer Gregg Giannotti. Craig related what he wanted to Gregg’s experiences with transvestites… 
 
With all his knowledge about transvestites you’d wonder what Craig might be doing in his spare time. But apparently he doesn’t have enough hobbies. Craig complains to Boomer that he has no way to kill time and deal with his anticipation for Game 6 of the World Series. Lucky for Craig, Boomer has a solution involving a caller… 
 
 The only thing that could be more annoying than following through on Boomer’s suggestion is going out with Eddie Scozzare and Al Dukes. Eddie apparently didn’t pay for a drink all night, and Al spent the evening texting on his phone. Jerry Recco updates you on that and more… 
 
Alright, it’s time to forget about yesterday and start thinking positively. How about some Game 6 talk? Boomer gives his detailed prediction right here, and Craig reveals there’ll be one less Phillies fan watching… 
 
Now, if the Yankees have their hearts set on winning Game 6 they’re going to have to do something about Chase Utley. Here’s a suggestion from Craig: start hitting the guy already… 
 
Ok, I don’t even have a witty way to transition to this one. So Craig, like some sort of medieval king, or just an ego maniac like Arod, has commissioned that a work depicting him as a Centaur with Boomer be created. Since then submissions from all over the internet have been pouring in. The person with the best one will receive a prize from the boys later in the week. Apparently, Boomer isn’t too happy with Craig’s little plan… 
 
Despite the Blonde Quarterback’s objections, here are today’s submissions:









 



Last, but never least, we give you Moment of the Day. Today’s moment was apparently spot on, and Craig gives credit where credit is due… 
 
Ok that about wraps it all up. Tune in tomorrow as the Morning Show goes Pre-Game Show once again. Boomer and Craig will give you all the analysis, opinion, and info you need heading into the big Game 6 back in the Bronx. In case you forgot, that will be from 6-10AM, as it is every weekday, on Boomer and Carton in the Morning, on the FAN!
